Well one day untill we leave the shores of busy HK but we have only just found an internet cafe as we have been walking and eating all day every day since we have been here! We have done so much in the 4 days we have been here but i will fill you in on all the best bits:

We arrived in HK after a very long flight and no Timothy there was no window licking going on- Stu slept some of it hehe. As we got off the plane the first thing we noticed was all the signs and people talking about the Typhoon that was going to hit in the middle of the night -scale 8 out of 10!!!

We decided to act like proper travellers and get a local train to our hotel which we did easily although when we got off i said that the hotel was number 77 done this street and we walked almost a mile and half to find it when we got to the end passing loads of pikey hotels i checked the address- it was 23! plus we had past it twice saying wish we were staying there cos it looked so good! Well all settlerd and went for a walk, had dinner and the typoon had began people were blowing all over the place it was well funny. Stu and i kept saying did we come the wrong time of year!!

Next day we walked to the harbour and went on the famous star ferry to HK island which was so good and about 20p we walked to a park to chill out after walking along some food markets and thousands of shops - becky you would be in designer heaven!

We visited Aberdeen and saw some house boats on the river and our flat in purfleet is a mansion compared to these places. We then got another cheap ferry to lamma island for some local chinese beers and seafood dinner which was yummy.

The next day we visited Lantau island to see tai o a village where people still live on stilt house - if i laid down my head would touch one end and my feet would hit the other end so small but before you mock my height people i am actually quite tall around here Stu is tall! After a scary bus journey where i thought we would die!We went to see Big Budda which is the picture above, a monastary and went up the mountains in a cable car and stu pooed his pants hehe. We then went out for dinner and saw people actually eating chickens heads and feet yea i nearly threw up but i did good and have eaten some loacl stuff.

Fri we went to Stanley which is a town with a beach yippee! we have walked so much we just chilled out all day went swimming, we both such pussys that we were both on shark alert as we swam out to a platform i think i could have peed my pants! then sat and ate fresh fruit on this beautiful peir, had too many beers in the smugglers inn and got the last bus home. A good day!

Today we slept in and have packed our backpacks ready for our next stop THAILAND - BANGKOK hope you all ok and missing you already well a little!

Will write again sooner hopefully but was so nice reading your messages email whats going on at home too. love you loads nic and stu
